Volatile Prism crystallized during Selene of the Rift's first legendary surge, when she channeled a catastrophic mana eruption through her own fractured glyph, creating a living crystal that refracts chaos into beauty. Born from the moment pure destruction became transcendent art, it embodies the faction's core belief that instability is the wellspring of all creative power.

This ever-shifting crystalline entity pulses with rainbow gradients that cascade through its faceted surface in unpredictable patterns, each refraction releasing micro-bursts of volatile mana. Its geometry constantly fluctuates between stable and chaotic states, growing new facets that shatter and reform in endless cycles. The prism generates an aura of creative instability that makes nearby magic more powerful but completely unpredictable, amplifying both potential rewards and catastrophic risks.

Volatile Prism serves as a catalyst for transformation within Fracture Surge, inspiring wielders to abandon safe strategies in favor of brilliant gambles that could lead to either spectacular victory or beautiful failure. It disrupts established magical patterns, turning every encounter into an opportunity for radical change and creative breakthrough.
